Hello everybody!

Yesterday I gave in to temptation and started this nice, not so little kit.

This is how far I have reached now....









The putty is not really necessary but I thought I'd better be safe than sorry later, because it gets harder to fill anything later on.
The suspension is really boring but once you finish it it makes you feel proud.

Thank you all!

Laura, the wheels are not glued on, I just attached them with Maskol to prevent them from falling of all the time.

LQ, you must be joking...

Fletch, nope, I got real sleepy at 4 AM.

Dave, yeah I wish. Your Pz IV really gets me motivated. Would it be possible to cast a copy of the interior in one piece? I can probably work on mine next weekend.

Thanks for looking and hopefully updates will come soon.(emphasis on hopefully)

Siim...Wow! It would have taken me longer just to clean-up the roadwheels. Great job, looking forward to all these Pz IV's.
